New & Enhanced Functionality

1. Odyssey Gaming Integration

We’ve introduced a new integration between bepoz and the Odyssey Gaming platform to provide real-time, tightly coupled loyalty and gaming functionality at POS.

** Key capabilities **

1.a - Odyssey Gaming connection in CA-Link
A new Odyssey Gaming server type is available in CA-Link, centralising configuration for Odyssey API endpoints, authentication, tiering, points mapping, and operational controls. This establishes a single, secure configuration for all Odyssey-related features.

1.b - Initial membership import from Odyssey
A configurable, one-time, and re-runnable import job seeds bepoz with member records and tier structures from Odyssey.

• Members and tiers are synced into bepoz account groups.

• Odyssey remains the source of truth.

• bepoz stores what is required for POS operations.

1.c - Member lookup and live points enquiry at POS
POS operators can identify members via card or badge and automatically:

• Load the correct bepoz account and tier from Odyssey data

• Retrieve and display live promotion and points balances from Odyssey in real time

This is the entry point for all Odyssey-driven POS workflows.

1.d - Earning points on POS transactions
When eligible sales are completed:

• Points are calculated in bepoz using venue, store, till, and account rules

• Points are awarded live to the configured default promotion bucket in Odyssey

• All awards are processed through Odyssey’s points API for consistent balances

1.e - Redeeming points at POS
Members can redeem Odyssey points directly against POS transactions.

• Operators can view available promotion buckets and balances.

• Redemptions can be manual using bucket and amount, or via auto-redeem using a configured bucket priority.

• Each redemption is approved live by Odyssey, ensuring balance and eligibility checks.

1.f - Refunding points on POS refunds
When a transaction that earned or redeemed points is refunded or voided:

• Corresponding point adjustments are automatically sent back to Odyssey

• Points are reversed in the appropriate promotion bucket to keep balances aligned

2. E-Labels & Shelf Labelling

ELabels Interface – New Interface

We’ve added a new ELabels interface that allows bepoz to integrate with supported electronic shelf label (ESL) providers and keep in-store labels automatically in sync with your BackOffice data.

** What this interface provides **

2.a - Automatic price and product updates to ESLs
Changes to prices and key product details in bepoz can now be pushed through the ELabels interface so corresponding electronic shelf labels update automatically in store, reducing manual relabelling and pricing errors.

2.b - Support for ongoing synchronisation
The interface is designed for regular, automated syncs rather than ad hoc exports, so ESLs stay aligned with bepoz data as pricing and product files change.

2.c - Operational reliability and traceability
The interface includes structured data exchange and logging, depending on provider capability, helping venues confirm updates have been sent and applied and making it easier to troubleshoot when a label is not showing the expected price.

2.d - Reduced manual workload and risk
By automating label updates from a single source of truth, the ELabels interface reduces time spent on manual ticketing and helps minimise pricing discrepancies at the shelf.

3. Ticket-IT ESL & Shelf Labelling

Ticket-IT Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) – New Interface

We’ve introduced a new integration between bepoz and Ticket-IT to automate electronic shelf-edge ticketing and digital price displays.

** What this interface provides **

3.a - Automated product and price sync
bepoz now syncs product data, including pricing and key attributes, with Ticket-IT’s Core Data service, maintaining a live, searchable product database for electronic shelf labels.

3.b - Promotional batch support
Using Ticket-IT’s Batch API, venues can selectively send promotional or campaign products to Ticket-IT as batches, enabling targeted, time-bound ticketing for specials and catalogue events.

3.c - Real-time or scheduled updates
Product and price changes can be pushed in real time or on a scheduled basis, ensuring Ticket-IT labels stay aligned with the latest bepoz data.

3.d - Reduced manual ticketing effort
By driving Ticket-IT labels directly from bepoz, retailers can significantly reduce manual ticket maintenance and minimise shelf-edge pricing errors.

4. NZ Electronic Shelf Labelling (NZESL)

Use ProductID as ItemID

For NZESL, bepoz now switches from a barcode-based item ID to a ProductID+SizeID based structure:

• Reduces duplicate records when barcodes change

• Avoids orphaned promotional data

• Still sends all barcodes for scanning compatibility

** Benefit **

More reliable promotion and pricing updates on ESLs, especially where barcode changes are common.

5. Gift Certificates & Payments

Safer Gift Certificate Refunds

The earlier behaviour that blocked all gift certificate refunds has been corrected.

** New behaviour **

5.a - Refund of a sale paid by gift certificate
Now allowed, but requires manager override on SmartPOS.

5.b - Refund of a gift certificate that has been redeemed
Now blocked.

POS displays a clear message indicating that the certificate has been redeemed and the transaction cannot be refunded.

** Benefit **

Venues can correct genuine mistakes while preventing abuse and double-dipping on redeemed gift certificates.

6. Integrations & Interfaces

6.1 Interface Setup and Data Handling Improvements

• Variant Quantities in Bundles

  Another Doshii change updates how priced condiments and variants are represented in the Doshii payload.

  When multiple quantities of the same variant are sold, each quantity is now sent as its own variant line, ensuring totals in bepoz and Doshii match.

** Benefit **

Better traceability and compliance with Thirsty Camel’s updated requirements.
